2011 was the year of youth style. From tween actors like Elle Fanning and Hailee Steinfeld, to bloggers like Tavi Gevinson, the fashion world was openly enthralled with said sartorial wunderkinds, documenting their fashion sense just as thoroughly as they would for Kate Moss and Chloë Sevigny. Leading the pack was the offspring of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Suri Cruise. While the five-year-old stylesetter was last year's tot to envy, there's a new kid on the block that's quickly giving Cruise a run for her money--and she's only five months old.

Well, you got us guys. Here it is: [YouTube]

Is it just me, or are kids really starting to steal the show? From the J.Crew, Gap, and Stella McCartney collections that shorties like me are totally snagging, to the freakin' adorable Zara Christmas lookbook, there's something about designs in smaller proportions that produce these perfect little nuggets of style. The latest brand to make us regret our childhood fashion choices is All Saints, whose Autumn/Winter 2010 lookbook is filled with miniature minimalism at a price we can only wish the grown-up versions mirrored.

Run for your life, Katie Holmes! No, you fool, there's no time to pack! Leave behind Baby Suri and Victoria Beckham's handy style guide. Tom Cruise will cherish them. Like he cherished entrapping you in that Tardis. You know, the one he stole after Doctor Who finished filming for the season, wherein he condemned you to drift through space and time for approximately nine months. Until you returned with an odd-looking life-form. Brace yourself, Joey Potter. He wants to do that again.

Today marks that precious day of the year when mothers and fathers all over the world are expected to strap the nicest leash they can find onto their daughters' rhinestone chokers and drag them along to their places of employ. Once there, daughters can learn about the magical wonders of the working world, hopefully picking up a few effective expletives as well. Although today, little Helvetica might find herself accompanying daddy to a dim dive instead, where she'll sip on Shirley Temples while thumbing through that last Harry Potter book as daddy gets flushed on whiskey gingers and rails about loyalty, integrity, and the general bullshittery of being laid off. But Hollywood isn't beleaguered with boring unemployeds! Celebrities, unlike bland regular people, are still making money. Regardless, here are a few who I implore to call a sitter (Lindsay still needs a job!) before heading into the studio, the lot, or even the bar for a hard day's work.
